    "content": "We have done this before. We started this tradition of having a publication period of 14 days, which in the old days was meant to facilitate public participation before the Bill is read the First Time. We have since introduced public participation as an integral part of the review of the Bill in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, which is also taking 14 days after the First Reading. The first 14 day-period that had been foreseen in the old days is redundant. I am hoping that that is one of the things we will be changing as we review the Standing Orders, so that a Bill is published and read immediately and then the 14 days start running, during which time it is advertised for public participation. We are now losing 14 days pre-First Reading and taking another 14 days after the First Reading to do the same thing and achieve the same objective."
